1. William Tyrrell investigator told to drop the investigation because “no one cares about that little kid”.
Former homicide detective Gary Jubelin has told a Sydney court freshly promoted homicide commander, Superintendent Scott Cook, made the comments upon seeing a picture of William Tyrrell displayed near his desk.
“No one cares about that little kid – get him off the books and get him to unsolved homicide,” Jubelin says Supt Cook told him in 2017 amid growing frustration regarding the length of the investigation.
The three-year-old went missing from Kendall on the New South Wales coast in 2014, and hasn’t been seen since.

A barrister representing the NSW Police Commissioner told the court Supt Cook "categorically" denied saying those words, while Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said he had "full confidence in the professionalism" of Supt Cook in a statement after the court was told of the comments.
